Interviews with Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black on the make of The Big Year

It is a bit comforting to know that in these interviews none of the actors, although completely new to birding, mocks it. Yes, they do find it a bit odd and an obsession, yet they rave about the scenery and the escape from the daily routines. If this somewhat shows in the film, it will be a winner for birdwatching.
